Re: Sending mail from the terminal

Ok, so either you're not running Ubuntu, or Ubuntu is badly broken in some way. If you google "what is the default sendmail package on Ubuntu", it will answer "Postfix is the default Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) in Ubuntu. It attempts to be fast and secure, with flexibility in administration." Works on all my boxes and installed by Ubuntu installer as part of the initial installation on a server or full-fat desktop.

Postfix is a replacement for sendmail, hence you can only install one of them. I've no idea ...
